Shot on 8mm film in 1939, this vintage home movie captures a snowy urban skyline from an elevated viewpoint. The sequence opens with a wide, hazy view of a cityscape featuring a prominent domed building in the distance. The camera then pans to focus on the Brown Hotel and a YMCA building, both covered in snow, with snow blanketing rooftops and streets below. The grainy black-and-white footage, with visible film scratches and dark borders, evokes a nostalgic, historical atmosphere of a winter day in New York City.
